Recently, we have demonstrated that the photogeneration of Vilsmeier-Haack reagents is possible using only dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetrabromomethane (CBr4) in the bromination of alcohols. Extending these findings to carboxylic acid substrates has produced a mild and facile approach to the in situ formation of symmetric anhydrides, which were conveniently converted to amide derivatives in a one-pot process. The efficient protocols discussed herein are marked by use of UVA LEDs (365 nm), which have reduced the reaction times and come with a low setup cost.
Synthesis of novel chiral polyamide macrocycles containing pyridyl side-arms and their molecular recognition properties
摘要:
Seven novel C-2-symmetrical macrocycles containing pyridyl units have been prepared by the cyclic condensation of homochiral diamide intermediates with 2,6-pyridinedicarbonyl dichloride under high dilution at room temperature. The molecular recognition of these homochiral macrocycles for amino acid derivatives has been characterized by various spectroscopic methods such as IR, FAB-MS, fluorescence and UV-vis. The macrocycle 11 exhibited significant chiral recognition towards the enantiomers Of D- and L-alanine methyl ester hydrochlorides for which association constants have been determined. Molecular modeling was also used to simulate the interaction mode between the hosts and the guests. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A variety of inositolphosphates including myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, which is a secondary messenger in transmembrane signaling, were selectively synthesized via Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed desymmetrization of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate using a proline-based chiral anhydride as an acylation precursor. The investigated catalytic system could regioselectively differentiate the enantiotopic hydroxy
